Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory LG/F/T NHL • No conventional chemotherapy regimen is curative • No regimen has been shown to be superior with regard to survival • Patients need additional treatment options • In the absence of cure or survival benefit, treatments that induce remission and prolong time off therapy are valuable ODAC Presentation 18
Rationale for Radioimmunotherapy in NHL • NHL is inherently sensitive to radiation • RT can be curative in limited stage NHL but can not be applied to advanced stage disease • RIT antibodies target radiation to tumor • RIT can kill both bound and neighboring tumor cells, overcoming the problem of access in bulky or poorly vascularized tumors
Critical Factors for Successful RIT • Target antigen • Antibody selectivity • Choice of isotope • Stability of antibody-isotope linkage
Zevalin (ibritumomab tiuxetan) • Ibritumomab (murine parent of rituximab) • Binds CD20 • Tiuxetan • Stable retention of 90Y CD20 antigen 90Y Zevalin B cell • CD20 antigen • Expressed only onB-lineage cells • Important for cell cycle initiation and differentiation • Does not shed or modulate Ibritumomab Tiuxetan 90Y ODAC Presentation 21

Zevalin Phase I and I/II Conclusions • Unlabeled pretreatment rituximab improves Zevalin biodistribution • MTD: 0.4 mCi/kg (0.3 mCi/kg for patients with mild thrombocytopenia), max 32 mCi • Toxicity primarily hematologic and reversible • Correlated with mCi/kg dose • Clinical variables (baseline platelets, % marrow NHL involvement) more predictive of toxicity than dosimetry • Clinical parameters adequate for dosing
Zevalin Phase I/II Study (N = 51) • ORR: 82% in low-grade NHL 42% in intermediate-grade NHL • Median TTP (responders): • 0.4 mCi/kg: 15.4 months • 0.4 mCi/kg CR pts: 28.3 - 37.2+ months

Imaging and Dosimetry • Tumors imaged in all LG/F/T patients • Radiation absorbed dose to normal organs acceptable in all patients • Minimal urinary excretion, 7% over 7 days • No correlation between hematologic toxicity and dosimetry or PK parameters
